I toned down an original idea I had initiated in this painting in the begining of the process of creating it. It was even scarier and more violent - not sure why - for an effect? a reaction? in myself? Or from the audience? I want to make it for both. I am actually the first audience for the painting, (quite a subjective audience; the creator, wouldn't you say?) I am literally the very first person to see my paintings - without exception. Unless someone has telepathic and prophetic powers they cannot see the painting inside my head before I do, nor the physical painting before I do (physically). Even when (and if) I see the painting in my head before I paint it, it probably has little to do with the outcome of the actual finished piece. I say "if" because I can't picture any of my first "visions" for paintings right now (if ever). If I have a clear vision of a future painting - I'll try to remember to come here and write it down - or wait - start the inexplicable, almost unfathomable process of making a painting (for myself). I say that because there may be plenty of painters that can clearly explain their process from start to "finish" I for one have a hard time even accounting for any such process occuring. That is not to say that my paintings paint themselves without me (although I heard that is a good technique for writing) or without me even knowing about it (like it was someone painting the pictures for me) but I assure you for the sake of the authenticity of my art that I painted them - as far as we can prove that I (and you) are real or really here at all.

I am sorry to render your perception of reality so flimsy but I have been working on expressing myself progressively more clearly at a (hopefully) exponential rate.
